Peaches Geldof Died Of Heroin Overdose

The coroner responsible for determining the cause of death of Peaches Geldof who died back in April says she died of a heroin overdose. He reported that she had been taking methadone for the last two p;us years of her life and that she had puncture wounds on her thumbs and wrists. Contrary to earlier reports stating there were no drugs found in the home, police say they discovered almost seven grams of heroin in her house. The levels of heroin were in the lethal range, but no evidence she planned on committing suicide.

where is the news? we yet knew she's died of heroin overdoseaccording to DM,the heroin found at her home was of very very good quality and she was under methadone since 2 1/2 years.She made weekly drug tests whom she said negative to her husband but he thinks now she lied.She said him also she wanted to reduce methadone but it was difficult.Apparently in nov 2013,she was heroin free.According to the coroner,she took heroin but it was recent and her tolerence to drug declined :it's why she did an overdosehttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2702535/Peaches-Geldof-heroin-addict-took-methadone-two-half-years-died-inquest-hears.html

My mother's half Danish and we live in Calfornia. I totally get it. It's just usually the noses in our family. Even my evil little sister who could get a tan line in ten minutes gets sun poisoning on her nose.

OMG, OUCH!!! Another pale-y here… Mix apple cider vinegar (about 1 pint) in a tub full of cool water and soak feet. Or steep tea in a foot bath of hot water, tgen pour in some cold water and soak them. The acids in the vinegar &/or the tannins in the teas take the redness and sting out. Then use pure aloe.

Actually, yes, they do effect babies badly. Especially if the mothers were taking high doses. My sister took methadone all through her last pregnancy, the baby had to spend 8 weeks in the hospital, in pain, being detoxed. The doctors were afraid she wasn't going to survive for the first couple weeks.

I was waiting for someone to refute me. I am in no means supporting drug use, at all, period.

The detox part is incredibly difficult on babies just like it is with adults. After they safely get out of that phase some end up just fine and some have issues. The range varies. It seems like peaches was under the care of a doctor, and if they stopped letting her use methadone during her pregnancy the withdrawal symptoms would have hurt the developing baby much more than letting her carry on. They detoxed the baby after delivery most likely. Babies are resilient and can endure, it's the will to survive. Obviously allowing a baby to develop in an addict is not ideal but babies survive and turn out okay. Not spectacular and not shitty, somewhere in the middle. And some end up like peaches, with a predisposition to addiction.

I can still remember the hate that reigned down on the day the story broke for anyone that even suggested that she probably OD'ed and didn't rave about what a brave person she was. I know that generally happens here but please remember this the next time a 'reformed' heroin addict dies mysteriously.

It's not ideal but these kids have *a* chance. No one wants to put their kids in this situation but it happens. I try to be hopeful and positive with their moms, a little positivity goes a long way instead of constantly beating down the moms who have birthed kids through their addictions and then recovered. They have to live day to day, so it's okay to say 'things will be okay' instead if subscribing to a vision of doom.

How about if you want to drink and drug – get your tubes tied or a vasectomy for fucks sake! That's what pisses me off about ALL addicted breeders. If you cannot put the pipe, bottle or needle down, you have zero business procreating. You can't love your monkey AND your babies. Take your pick but please don't do both.

This goes for all (life disrupting) addictions too. If you can't keep it in your pants, can't stop gambling, whatever. If you have something (beyond your love for your family) dangerously controlling your life – don't reproduce. It seems like a fairly obvious and simple rule to live by. Peaches had no business getting pregnant to begin with. Period.
